This past weekend were the showers for both the weddings I'm in this fall. I was throwing Rachel's shower on Saturday and then I found out Julia's shower was going to be on Sunday! What a crazy weekend!
I really wish I had taken more pictures, but both showers were wonderful. I did a beach themed shower for Rachel. My goal was to keep as much of the food, drinks, and decorations as "beachy" as possible. I had Goldfish crackers being served from a pail with a shovel for a scoop, and I used a shell-shaped kiddie pool as a cooler. I put it on the table and filled it with ice and bottled water and soda. One of my favorite parts was this:
I had a lot of help from my mom, my mother-in-law, and Rachel's sister-in-law decorating the night before and then also help from them the morning of (Dave came, too, and blew up balloons and picked up the ice). I didn't realize how much work goes into planning a shower! It was worth it, though. I received lots of compliments and Rachel had a great day. =)
Sunday was Julia's shower. It was given by her maids of honor and her mom. It was a looong drive (about 3 hours), but the shower was really nice. Then we went to go see the apartment Ben and Julia will be moving into. We helped them move some stuff in, too.
I really wish I had taken more pictures of the whole weekend. I was so exhausted, though (like I said, throwing a shower is a lot of work! Plus, we had just thrown Dave's parents a surprise anniversary party the weekend before!), that I guess I just didn't think about it enough. Other people took pictures, though, so maybe I can get a hold of theirs.
